HP-MPI Version 1.0 for Windows Release Note

HP-MPI V1.0 for Windows Release Note

Installation Instructions

HP-MPI must be installed on all nodes which will be used to launch or run jobs. The

installation directory used must be the same on all nodes.

To install HP-MPI, log in as Administrator or a user in the Administrator group and follow

the instructions for either an interactive or command line installation below.

Standard Interactive Installation

Double-click Setup HP-MPI-1.0-20060725.exe and follow the on-screen prompts to install

the product.

Command Line Installation

The HP-MPI installer can be invoked from the command line to allow for unattended

installation from a command window. To install HP-MPI in this manner on a CCS system run

the install package on every node in the cluster and include the '/verysilent' flag.

The installer will assume the default values for the installation directory and program group,

unless you override them by specifying additional command line parameters. To override the

install directory, specify the /DIR=x:\dirname parameter. To override the program group,

specify the /GROUP=group name parameter.

To easily install HP-MPI on all nodes in the cluster, log in as administrator and use the

clusrun command with the '/verysilent' flag to execute the install package. For example:

headnode> clusrun "\\netshare\path\Setup HP-MPI-1.0-20060725.exe" /verysilent

Using the Compute Cluster Administrator Console GUI, the compute nodes could also be

selected, then select Action, then Run Command. Again, run the HP-MPI install package with

the '/verysilent' flag:

"\\netshare\path\Setup HP-MPI-1.0-20060725.exe" /verysilent
